The sellouts (abusing the brand) are truly gutting it

Summary: The Linux Foundation's greed and its awful priorities (promoting Microsoft and GitHub instead of GNU/Linux) is rather revealing and deserving of public scrutiny; giving over a million dollars per year to someone who rejects Linux isn't what an institution called "Linux Foundation" is meant to do, not to mention relocation from an office space that cost $265,271 (per year) to one that costs 5,952,673 (per year) just 9 years later

The next Bakkt?
